More Solutions is located in Fengate Industrial Park to the east of Peterborough
(the area is also locally known as "Eastern Industry").
If you know Peterborough this is the area around the Showcase Cinema.
The area is quite easy to find, and although online map
services fail to show the area clearly the following links show you the general location
from a distance and
close up.
The simplest route, not surprisingly, depends on where you are coming from. If you think we've gone into
excessive detail in these instructions, all you really need are the bits in bold! If you're coming
our way during rush hour ask us about the hotspots to be aware of (although Peterborough is better than
most cities at that time of day).
Note that a lot of our work involves site visits, so please always contact us prior to paying us a visit so we know to expect you.
For most people the simplest approach is to get onto Peterborough's southern ringroad, the A1139,
where it joins the A1(M) and A605. If you are coming from the east and prefer the A47 to the A14
see below.
So, for most people:
- Follow the A1 heading south, with Peterborough to the east (your left).
- Leave the A1 onto the A1139 at the junction where the A1(M) motorway starts. The A1139 is
the second exit from the roundabout, and shortly afterwards joins a second carriage way (coming
from the A1 northbound) to form a dual carriage way heading east along the south side of Peterborough.
Hint: If you don't know the area at all, the motorway
is where the roads get bigger and the signs turn blue...
- Follow the A1 heading north, on the A1(M) motorway.
- Leave the A1 onto the A1139 at the junction where the A1(M) motorway ends. The junction
is a little confusing and rarely shown properly on a map, but immediately after leaving the motorway
the sliproad heads off to the right to go over the top of the motorway avoiding the roundabout -
just follow it and you'll be OK. If you end up at the roundabout instead take the 4th exit and
you'll be back where you should be.
- Where the A605 meets the A1 carry straight on onto the A1139 (this is the third
exit from the roundabout, signposted to Peterborough), crossing the A1.
Hint: The A605 is a shortcut from the A14 (the A1-M1 link road) to the A1. Most approaches
from the west will (or should!) use the A14.
If you prefer to stay on the A14 until it reaches the A1
you can then approach Peterborough from the South (A1) as above.
If you do this, then when you return home note that the A14 eastbound leaves the
A1(M) a few miles before the A14 westbound exit (which is the first exit after
the motorway ends). This is badly
signposted and we have known people intending to head west finding themselves heading
east by mistake. We even know of one person destined for Birmingham who managed to get
to Ipswich before realising! So eastbound take the first A14 exit you see, westbound
wait until after the motorway ends.
- Once on the A1139 follow the road around the south of Peterborough,
passing a giant blue Ikea distribution centre on your left and then heading up the eastern
side of Peterborough, crossing a railway line and the river Nene.
- Leave the A1139 at junction 5, heading right (third exit) into Fengate / Eastern Industry.
- Immediately after leaving the roundabout on the A1139 you will pass a Pizza Hut and BP (formerly Q8) garage on your left.
- Take the first right onto Padholme Road East, taking you between Homebase on your
right and McDonalds on your left.
- Pass a Jet petrol station on your left and Wayland Timber on your right, then turn right
into Belgic Square. Find somewhere to park (there are no allocated spaces but there's
usually no problem finding space).
- We are in unit 6c in the centre of the square. We also have a workshop, unit 6e.
For most people it's simplest to use the A14 and then approach from the south using the A1 (see above).
If you decide to approach from the east via the A47:
- Follow the A47 approaching Peterborough to its north.
- Pass the householder recycling facility (aka the council tip) on your left
- At the roundabout take a left (heading south) onto the parkway.
- At the next roundabout take a right onto the A1139.
- Pass a small junction (signposted Perkins Engines) and leave at the next exit (junction 5).
- Take the first left into Fengate and continue to our office as "Finding More Solutions" (above)
